After the Eagles failed to provide an immediate, clear-cut reason for Jackson's release, NFL Players Association Executive Director DeMaurice Smith said earlier this month that the union planned to look into "whether or not there were comments or leaks from the team" or "misinformation to the media coming from the team."

Zach Berman of The Philadelphia Inquirer has the results of the investigation:

Sessler added: "Adolpho Birch, the league's vice president of law and labor, added: "I think we are comfortable that the decisions that were made on both ends were football decisions.""

"Kevin Durant been calling me, he been calling and saying man you know how I’d go crazy for you to be in D.C. I mean, what better place is there for me to be? I’m happy to be here. I’m glad, man, honestly I can say that.”

Veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson has reportedly agreed to a contract with the Washington Redskins.

Jackson confirmed via Twitter:

NBC's Diana Marie Russini first reported the deal:

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirmed the initial report and noted that it's expected to be a three-year deal:

Jackson's PR team also confirmed Jackson's new destination:

USA Today showed DeAngelo Hall's excitement in welcoming Jackson:

The 27-year-old playmaker was recently released by the Philadelphia Eagles on March 28 in one of the offseason's most shocking moves thus far. The Eagles confirmed the decision in a statement via their official website:

"After careful consideration over this offseason, the Philadelphia Eagles have decided to part ways with DeSean Jackson. The team informed him of his release today."

On the day of Jackson's release, which came just two years after he signed a five-year deal, NJ.com's Eliot Shorr-Parks and A.J. Perez reported that "Jackson's continued association with reputed Los Angeles street gang members who have been connected to two homicides since 2010" was among the list of concerns for Philadelphia.

However, sources close to Jackson and the situation in Philadelphia highlighted the wide receiver's "work ethic and attitude" as the biggest issues concerning the Eagles, per Shorr-Parks and Perez.

Here's a look at Jackson's official statement following his release, per SportsCenter on Twitter:

Unsurprisingly, the decision was a polarizing one that generated plenty of reaction. ESPN.com's Mike Sando was among the many willing to give the Eagles the benefit of the doubt:

Regardless of whether it was the right decision, Jackson is set to begin a brand new chapter in the NFL. And if his first six seasons in the league are any indication, the Redskins have landed a dynamic offensive weapon capable of pulling down 60-plus balls for 1,000-plus yards and a handful of touchdowns each season.

ESPN Stats & Info points out Jackson's big-play ability.

What's more, Jackson is coming off a career year in which he recorded 82 receptions for 1,332 yards and nine touchdowns, all career highs. 2013 also marked the first time that Jackson played in all 16 regular-season games since his rookie year in 2008.

It remains to be seen whether Jackson will fit in right away with his new club, but the potential for success is certainly there if he can stay healthy and discover his role within the offense.
